Well, you can add this if you'd like, but it doesn't seem close as important as the other guys, and some of you guys might even tease me for posting it. But hey, it adds to the conversation, so what ever...If you want, you can shorten it, I did type a little too much. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/teehee.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":teehee:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"teehee.gif\" /> I sent Mike very clear and detailed photo's of the Maggothead mask I bought from my brother specifically to trade for a Final Chapter Hockey Mask from him. I let him know everything, the eye was cut out, there were some paint flaws around the mask shown clearly in pictures, and it was wearable. He says he'll make me one of his normal, detailed, accurate hockeymasks for it, so I traded it. I send it out, he recieves it, and starts working on the Hockey Mask. I know 5 months isn't a long wait, but it took 5 months with barely any contact.Well, I get the mask in July, and it is shit. Well, I can't say shit, it was cool looking, but nothing like what I asked for besides the straps, they were how I asked for. But the paint job was completely detailess. It was a base coat with a triangle and blood. Now that wasn't the only problem. The blood was extremely sticky and coming off very easily. So I decide not to touch it and contact Mike. He tells me it's how all his hockey masks come, and most customers don't touch the blood which is why they don't complain about it. I thought, alright, I won't touch it. After a couple days, I see the blood starts dripping all down the hockeymask. His excuse was the room I kept it in was too hot (yes, and airconditioned room is too hot).Later I posted it, not in anger, just to notify people. And he starts bitching about how I sent a flawed mask so I get a flawed mask in return, which was not the deal. He made it seem like I failed to notify him of the flaws, and people got mad at me for it. Three months later, he finally admitted it wasn't a finished hockeymask and that he sent mine to someone else. Well, he let me return it for a new one that he already made, I thought that was nice of him. The only problem with the new Hockey Mask was the straps ripped extremely easy, and the blood was still a bit sticky and dripped a bit. Not too bad, but I will never buy from him again.
